Default Can't figure it out

I have a 2000 camaro ls1 did a cam and ls6 intake, got everything together can't seem to get it started checked every ground tried new and old spark plugs and wires replaced cam sensor map sensor coolant sensor, spark plugs are dry put new injectors in didn't make a difference, checked ever fuse, reset the PCM, plugged a programmer in nothing on it that would make it not run.

Only other thing I was thinking is crank sensor even tho I have touched it.

Just really stuck any ideas would be helpful thanks

Is it trying to turn over at least? Or just clicking?

Check these easy things first:

-Battery charge
-Check all grounds including grounds off the head are in fact grounded
-All 3 wires are connected to the negative terminal of the battery (alternator/fans/fp)?
-Fuel pump delivering fuel?
-Injectors delivering fuel?
-Spark plugs firing/arcing?

Once you can locate what's not working you can troubleshoot from there.

I think if you forget to plug in a sensor, it'll turn over, but run like ****. So, it's probably fuel/spark related.

You sure the injector cables are wired properly so that fuel is getting injected.

Here is the wiring:

1 violet
3 light blue
5 green
7 red
2 red
4 green
6 light blue
8 violet
